While in a costume store over the weekend (shopping for
Burning Man stuff), I saw a woman in a clown suit yelling at
her daughter for something, basically for having too much
fun in public. Hmm.

Working on a new MailCrypt site (moving it all to
SourceForge), mostly an excuse to play with blender. Also getting back
into my dusty-with-neglect
project to build a hardware GPG decryption/signature agent.
It should be on a JavaButton eventually, but I may stuff it
into a USB microcontroller board I have lying around
first.

Got a few driver bugs fixed; now my vaio can play sounds
without locking up again. Yay. Also found a way to hack the
cpuload stats so that kapmd doesn't appear to be
keeping the CPU out of idle mode (basically the task
structure acquired an
extra bit that says "don't contribute to sys
time", and kapmd is the only thread with that bit
set).

Stopped by the Debian booth at LWCE and saw Joey Hess with a
vaio picturebook, camera working and everything. Man, I like
this world.. six months ago folks were in despair about the
fact that Sony wouldn't give out any docs on the camera
chip. Today it works perfectly. And soon it'll be in a
nice standard V4L kernel driver, removing all the fuss.
Nifty.
